Chapter 1336 - 597: Purple Cloud Sect (2)

Zhao Shilin began explaining to Ning Qi.

"Oh, that sect?"

Ning Qi asked involuntarily after hearing this.

"Master Ning, this is the Purple Cloud Sect’s sect."

Zhao Shilin responded, "Their Sect Leader is called Wen Wanru, who just came to power in the last few hundred years."

"Her mother, Wen Guling, has been in seclusion for hundreds of years, and it’s said that she is about to reach Golden Immortal strength."

"However, these are just rumors. If she breaks through and comes out, then our world’s number one sect would be the Purple Cloud Sect."

"Oh? So they’re that strong."

Hearing this, Ning Qi frowned, "Then why provoke them instead of dealing with the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, which is easier?"

"The Ten Thousand Swords Sect is quite strange; we sent many people to deal with them, but all failed."

Zhao Shilin sighed, continuing, "Later, we also sent people to investigate the situation, but to no avail; we have no idea what’s going on."

"Oh? Something like this?"

Listening to him, Ning Qi furrowed his brow again.

In reality, he knew very well that he was the one behind this.

"Master, he’s talking about us."

The Medicine Spirit also realized this and said, "If they know their enemy is right in front of them, I wonder how they would feel."

"They would certainly fight us to the death."

Ning Qi replied, "However, they can’t possibly know."

"Master, ask about their action plan so we can make arrangements."

The Medicine Spirit reminded him from within his Dantian.

"Alright, don’t rush. I’ll see what more he can say."

After responding, Ning Qi continued on his way.

"Master Ning, this time we’re going to attack a town controlled by their sub-branch."

Zhao Shilin spoke again at this point.

"Oh, a town. Can we succeed with just a few of us?"

Hearing this, Ning Qi’s expression turned serious.

"We’re not besieging the town, just an assassination."

Zhao Shilin chuckled, then continued, "Then we’ll capture their Saintess."

"Oh? The Saintess, what’s that about?"

Ning Qi asked curiously.

"I’ve heard the Saintess of the Purple Cloud Sect just returned from the Immortal Realm."

"She’s stopping here, so we’re going to capture her."

Zhao Shilin lowered his voice and said, "Commander Lei is leading an attack on their sub-branch to draw their attention."

"We’ll directly capture her in the city, and by the time they realize our plan, the person will already be taken."

"I see."

Listening to him, Ning Qi finally understood what was going on.

"Master, these people are really bad."

The Medicine Spirit complained from within his Dantian.

"It’s not that they’re bad, just different positions."

"If given a chance, do you think the Purple Cloud Sect people would spare their enemies?"

"I believe no one would miss this opportunity."

Ning Qi replied in his heart to the Medicine Spirit’s words, then focused ahead, "How much longer do we have?"

"After this mountain, we’ll be there."

Zhao Shilin pointed to the mountain range ahead.

"Where are Brother Lei’s people?"

Ning Qi continued to ask.

"Their people went to the eastern sub-branch, more than fifty li apart."

"If they were to support, it wouldn’t be in time."

"By the time either side comes, we’ll have already succeeded and retreated."

Zhao Shilin pointed to a direction ahead, telling Ning Qi.

"Alright, let’s go, we’ll scout first."

Ning Qi nodded again, then continued on the road.

"Be careful."

Zhao Shilin waved to the people behind him, signaling them to follow.

"Yes!"

"..."

The people behind responded and followed closely behind.

As they came over, they all headed up the mountain.

Ning Qi followed the group as well.

"Master, we need to find a way to inform Miss Xu and them."

The Medicine Spirit thought for a moment, reminding Ning Qi from within his Dantian.

"There’s no need to tell them this matter."

"If she finds out, Lei Mountain might not return alive."

"If that’s the case, my plans will be ruined."

Ning Qi shook his head, disagreeing.

"But they’ll act against the Purple Cloud Sect people. If they succeed, wouldn’t that threaten the safety of this world?"

The Medicine Spirit frowned and said earnestly.

"I don’t believe they can succeed."

"You must know this is the Saintess of the Purple Cloud Sect. She cannot be without protection."

"If we go, we only need to refrain from going all out."

Ning Qi responded to the Medicine Spirit with a Heart Thought.

"Ah? Then these people would be in danger."

Hearing Ning Qi’s words, the Medicine Spirit became worried.

"What does that have to do with me?"

Ning Qi asked, "Remember, following me, only my safety matters."

"Anyone who’s not one of mine can become an enemy someday."

"Yes, I understand, Master!"

Hearing his words, the Medicine Spirit understood.

Indeed, these people are from different camps, and if there’s competition, they all become enemies.

Therefore, they are not worth worrying about.

"Master Ning, we’ve arrived."

As they discussed, they had already crossed the mountain and were halfway down.

From here, they could see an official road leading straight ahead.

Directly in front of them was a city.

This city didn’t seem very big, no more than a dozen small towns in size.

"This city was developed to complement Purple Cloud City."

Zhao Shilin explained to Ning Qi, "It’s only a twenty li journey from Purple Cloud City."

"I see."

Hearing his explanation, Ning Qi understood.

This place was essentially a transit point.

"To the west from here is the Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s sub-branch, but it’s been destroyed."

"To the north is the Liuyun Sect’s sub-branch, where our forces were wiped out last time."

"We’ll make them pay when we get the chance."

Zhao Shilin gritted his teeth, then told Ning Qi, "And the east is the Purple Cloud Sect’s sub-branch."

"So, this small city is actually an important place connecting the three sub-branches."

"That’s why it’s developed."

Ning Qi finally understood.

"Yes, that’s right."

Zhao Shilin nodded, pointing to the city ahead, "Master Ning, let’s go, there’s someone to meet us in the city."

"Alright, let’s go."

Ning Qi nodded and continued down the mountain with him.

After descending, they found carriages waiting for them.

Seeing them arrive, the coachmen came forward to greet them, and each got on a carriage.

They continued their journey by carriage.

After about half a two-hour period, their convoy arrived outside the city gates.

There were still many people going back and forth here.

"Should we split up to enter?"

Ning Qi looked ahead and asked solemnly.

"No need, the gatekeepers are also our people!"

Zhao Shilin laughed, then boldly had the coachman continue driving.

As they passed through the gate, only a few soldiers came to ask some questions and then let them in.

"How was it, no problem, right?"

Zhao Shilin boasted to Ning Qi.

"Indeed, I didn’t expect you to have infiltrated their ranks so deeply."

Ning Qi praised.

"These are people we’ve painstakingly inserted."

Zhao Shilin nodded, then whispered, "Let’s go to the inn."

"Oh? We have an inn?"

Hearing this, Ning Qi couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, we have quite a number of our people."

Zhao Shilin replied again.
